The ΕU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) has launched a public consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) establishing a harmonised methodology for assessing the inherent and residual money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risk profile of obliged entities in the non-financial sector. The proposed framework aims to support a consistent, proportionate and risk-based supervisory approach across the European Union. The consultation is open until 27 September 2026.

The draft RTS set out a common methodology for assessing and classifying the ML/TF risk profile of non-financial sector obliged entities. Through the consultation, AMLA is seeking stakeholders’ views on the proposed methodology, the relevance and proportionality of the proposed data points, the treatment of small entities, the operational feasibility of the reporting framework, and the expected implementation costs and challenges.

Interested stakeholders are invited to submit their comments through AMLA’s public consultation process. The consultation also includes a public hearing, scheduled for 10 September 2026, to gather feedback from stakeholders across the EU.

The methodology would apply from 31 December 2028.
